I am currently using a dual monitor setup in my home studio but I have run into a small problem for which I do not know the solution.
I have a program open on my 1st monitor which then plays on the second monitor once I hit the play button. This is frustrating because I need to hear this audio through my studio speakers which can only be hooked up to the laptop and not the second screen which is where the sound is coming from. Any help on directing audio to the laptop instead of the second screen?

All you have to do is select your audio output. HDMI generally sets itself as the default audio device, but it is easy to change this.
The easiest thing to do is to click on the volume control in the taskbar. The title above the volume slider is actually a selection menu. Click on this and choose the output you prefer and your audio should start heading that way.
You can also right-click on the volume control and select Playback Devices, then set your preferred output as default in the Sound dialog.
